That thing that Vecna does, where the victim’s joints all twist the wrong way? That’s just what waking up feels like, after a certain point in our lives. 💪
Offspring: I doubled up on medication until I’m better.
Worldweary parent: I wouldn’t, that’s already a strong dose.

It’s perhaps a little skewed that when my internal dialogue invokes “Say hello to my little friend,” it’s referencing a hair styling implement. 💈👩🎤
The concept of The Long Tail: I can’t tell if it’s too old or still too new to be taught as part of the core US university bus/econ curriculum but as far as I can tell it’s absent.
The Hunting Wives offers many takeaways for its viewers in America and beyond. Scrutinize your ethics and moral choices. Guard against cloying and unhealthy ovetparenting. But foremost among the show’s messages has to be: your undergarment options are, in all likelihood, past due for an upgrade. 🩲

There comes a time when deciding to reorganize your closet replaces deciding to get a gym membership.
“I oppose the budget draft’s public land sale provisions. Wilderness preservation and access is vital to our state, and relies on protecting public lands. At minimum please work toward exemptions with Senators from affected states. With millions of acres at stake, even modest carve-outs will help.”
1/2 Bad news for skiers, snowboarders, backpackers, anglers, and all who love mountains and wilderness. Here’s info and a letter to senators that asks them to stop the public land sale or create a carve-out. It hits winter sports but can be adapted as you like. www.peakrankings.com/content/a-dr...
Delivery services should let you enter a grocery list without picking a store. You specify sizes, brands, quantities, and max price. Then the service should assemble your delivery from a range of nearby stores, getting you the best deals and minimizing out of stock issues. Seems doable.
